Wow! Todd waters. That's awesome news. I know Todd got injured this year but I still say he's the fastest racer not competing internationally. Saw him ride in the winter and he's seriously quick. I hope the bike does him justice, if he improves his speed this winter as he's done in the last couple years he's gonna shock a few regulars.

Hopefully Ratters finds his groove again and good start for Waters international career.

I wonder where Boog and Concalves are going to end up. While I support the IceOne- team, I don't like how they switch riders after every season.

A lot of guys without rides at the moment. Too many riders and not enough teams it seems. Rui, Boog, Coldenhoff, Ferris, Nicholls, Simpson and more don't have rides yet. Tough times for riders in Europe.

I'm pretty sure the factory race husky's will just be rebadged factory KTM's next year, so the bike should be right

Probably very similar. Can't wait to see it though. Any new factory team in the paddock is huge.

Ferris and Coldenhoff don't have a ride yet?! Very tough times indeed.

They didn't when I spoke to them last weekend, although Coldenhoff did mention there would be an announcement in Lierop about his 2014 plans. Ferris should stay with Dixon in MX1, although he didn't seem to have an agreement with Steve yet, although both say it will happen, it seems a little unsure.

Nicholls was being considered for factory husky but it seems they went a different direction. I have heard however that another husqvarna satelite team was waiting for factory husky to make there move before chasing him. Dean ferris is rumoured to be staying with steve dixons team but on a kawi rather than a yamaha and moving up to MX1 as for the others no idea.

Good to see Tyla back. Shame he didn't come back abit earlier though! Hope he has a injury free season on the Ktm........Husky.



Do Redbull Ktm not have a spot for Coldenhoff?

"Do Redbull Ktm not have a spot for Coldenhoff?"

Don't worry about Coldenhoff he's backed by wealthy private sponsors,
beside that the Gp industry (manufacturers, wholesales etc) are locked in Holland
One of the reasons that de Reuver still find a ride

I think staying in the USA would've meant a bigger step down for him. Sounds like Mitch is not doing 450's next year and I don't see Rattray getting a good ride from another team due his supercross skills. Factory KTM err... Husky isn't that bad IMO.
